Introduction to Cookful

Cookful is a personalized meal prep assistant designed to simplify the process of planning, shopping for, and preparing meals. Its primary aim is to cater to the diverse dietary needs and cooking preferences of individuals and families, making meal prep an enjoyable and stress-free activity. Cookful stands out by offering tailored weekly recipe plans based on a user's dietary preferences (e.g., keto, vegan, gluten-free), nutritional goals (e.g., weight loss, muscle gain), preferred cuisines, and even kitchen capabilities. For instance, if someone is looking for high-protein vegan meals that can be prepared in under 30 minutes using only a stovetop, Cookful can curate a week's worth of recipes to match these specific needs. Beyond recipes, it provides batch cooking advice, adapts to the user's kitchen setup (considering the appliances and tools available), and generates a shopping list to streamline the meal prep process.
